Internet of Things (IoT)
IoT devices typically operate under severe resource constraints, including limited processing power, memory, and network bandwidth. Traditional blockchain clients require continuous synchronization and data storage, making them impractical for IoT applications. Stateless clients solve these issues by enabling IoT devices to interact with blockchain networks efficiently and trustlessly.
Minimal Resource Consumption—No need for IoT devices to store blockchain state or participate in network synchronization.
Secure and Autonomous—IoT devices can independently verify sensor data, transactions, or device access permissions without relying on centralized gateways.
Resilience in Offline Environments—Devices can retrieve and verify blockchain data asynchronously, making them well-suited for environments with intermittent connectivity.
Use cases include supply chain management, automated smart home control, and secure machine-to-machine (M2M) transactions, where trusted interactions between decentralized devices are required.
